Sounds like I can call Thread.getThis().thread_detachThis() 
from within DelayedHideTitle() and that will make the thread 
detached and therefore it will destroy itself properly.

Only call thread_detachThis() if you initialized the thread 
object via thread_attachThis().  Otherwise just discard the 
reference and let it clean itself up.  The reason for the "do 
not delete" restriction is because the thread objects are 
tracked internally by the GC, and they must remain in a correct 
state until the GC has recognized that they have terminated.

Thanks, sounds like I can just do this and the thread will clean 
itself up:

Thread TitleHider = new Thread(&DelayedHideTitle);
TitleHider.start();
TitleHider = null;
